This makes my blood boil. If I "bought" these shows, you are literally (and sadly legally) stealing my stuff.

And money is not even the issue. My "unreasonable" request is that I get to keep what I buy.

Piracy offers me this. It also offers me a free product, but that's mostly irrelevant. I have a gigantic bandcamp library precisely because they let me download drm-free files (but even they pull up stuff; that's ok, I have my local files).

Pirate everything. Rip everything. Keep backups.
